The Basel Convention Regional Centre for Training and Technology Transfer for the Caribbean (BCRC-Caribbean) serves the Contracting Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam, Stockholm and Minamata Conventions within the Caribbean region and any other country consenting to be served by the Centre.
The primary objective of the Basel Convention is to protect human health and the environment against the adverse effects of hazardous wastes. In order to achieve this, the Convention has two pillars. Firstly, it regulates the transboundary movements of hazardous and other wastes. Secondly, it obliges its Parties to ensure that these wastes are managed and disposed of in an environmentally sound manner (ESM).
The Rotterdam Convention promotes the shared responsibility and cooperative efforts among Parties in the international trade of certain hazardous chemicals and contributes to the environmentally sound use of those hazardous chemicals.
The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is an international treaty that protects human health and the environment from chemicals that remain in the environment for long periods and accumulate in the fatty tissues of wildlife and humans.
The Minamata Convention on Mercury is a global treaty that aims to protect human health and the environment from anthropogenic (human-caused) emissions and releases of mercury and mercury compounds to the environment.
Mission:
To collaborate with Caribbean countries in implementing their international obligations to sustainably manage waste and chemicals through technical assistance and capacity building.
Vision:
Protecting human health and the environment in the Caribbean through the environmentally sound management of wastes and chemicals.
